My travel to "Valle del Elqui"

Two years ago, after a little conversation, my mom and my aunts decided to visit the north of Chile, the first option was go to "la serena" but we want something more "country", not just stay in a hotel or a rented house, we want to "camp" and my mom(after an exhaustive search) proposed to go to "valle del elqui"  and stay in a camp called "El rupestre" in the zone of Cochiguaz.




When we arrived, the first impression I had was: "and this is all?:c",  not internet, not cell phone chargers, bugs in every place, the sun in the area excessively  high,  the first day was very hard for me, but all change when the night come, the sky was full of billion of stars, a spectacular show that in Santiago didn´t have in my entire life, it was so wonderful.




But the best part come in the third day, a friend of the son-in-law of my aunts(he lives in Santiago but visit the place every years) took us to a extraordinary (but unknown) place "La piedra del guanaco".

"La piedra del guanaco" is a stone with draws of ancestral culture, it have tree types of draw, "Guanacos" for the culture of the "Diaguitas", temple draws for the culture "Molle" and snakes for the "inca" culture, the feel of found the stone can't by described with words, the only thing I can say is: thanks god for bring me life to live the experience!


Unfortunately, the trip wasn't so long and we came back to Santiago after just 2 weeks  :,(, but they was the best two weeks of my life n-n.
